“Neighbors good-night, good-night;
A day of right,
Without a wrong,
Hallows our evening song.”
At an early hour of the day, succeeding the arrival of the Kyronese detachment, Indian women brought fresh fish and fruits as presents, then volunteered their service for clearing the houses, colonnades24, and patios25 of the accumulations consequent upon the sickness of the Heracleans, and were made happy by the acceptance of their proffered26 aid. Gradually the cheerless gloom which had held sway in the depopulated portions of the city for ages, from the harassed27 anxiety of its defenders28, passed away under the active hands of the Kyronese and their Indian aids. Fountains, whose conduits had become choked, were opened and cleaned, causing the house gardens and latifundium to rejoice in primal29 gladness from water distribution above and below the surface of the ground. The loving sympathy of the Heracleans made manifest in the tender care bestowed30 upon the reviving sick, brought forth31 the latent gentleness of the corps32, which had been suppressed from childhood by the civilized33 decrees of fashionable folly34 and vanity, begot35 from the precedental inoculation36 of habits and customs derived37 from the heroic ages of classical brutality39. Indeed the members of the corps were so often moved to express genial40 emotions with glistening41 tears commingled42 with smiles, they seemed to have developed a new inherent combination as necessary for the joyful43 expression of happiness, as sun and showers for the behests of fruitful vegetation. The padre, in his quaint44 emphatic45 style, expressed the prevailing46 influence in an evening salutation addressed to his 109compadre Dr. Baāhar after even song, in this wise: “Well I declare, doctor, upon my soul, I have passed such a happy day in useful labor47 that it seems as if I had just emerged from a life’s nightmare of torpid48 inactivity. Really, upon my hopes of salvation49, I believe that I could live and thrive upon the joys of others, without material food.”
But the doctor, who was impaling50 the insect game obtained from his day’s hunting excursion, replied sneeringly51. “So, so, h-m—I see, you are taken in, with the others, by this humdrum52 life of these Heracleans, with their puling, wishee-washy affectations of caring more for others than they do for themselves. The long and short of the matter is, that you are all subject to an unnatural53 influence, and if it is not thrown off immediately, from whatever source derived, you will shortly forswear manliness54, and your hopes of heaven.”
This baited injunction caused the padre to exclaim, “My goodness gracious, doctor, you frighten me! I hope you don’t truly think there’s anything like magic or sorcery used upon us here? To be sure, now that I remember, I have had strange thoughts, to which I have never been accustomed to before! But they have been in motive55 pure, urging the necessity of controlling the appetites and passions, if we would attain56 the abiding57 confidence of a trustful affection, that outreaches self. But then, as you know, the devil can preach, and practice too, if it so minds him, self-condemnation?”
“Certes, the fact is,” replied the doctor, “you are subject to vagaries58 when your stomach is empty, and require to feel the force of sound German philosophy that urges substantial fullness as the source of generous impressions, eloquence59, and heroic deeds, and for exorcism thorough fumigation60 with tobacco smoke.”
M. Hollydorf, from the intervention61 of multiplied causes, had procrastinated62 the inauguration63 of his 110scientific explorations, until compelled to enter upon the duties of his commission through fear that inquiries64 would be instituted to learn the cause of his long silence. Fully5 aware that the manifold attractions of Correliana had served to abate65 his professional enthusiasm, and urgency of his desire to fulfill66 the trust reposed67 in his discretion68, he resolved to make a test of his naturalistic occupation for the diversion of his thoughts from an object of hopeless attainment69. Notwithstanding his knowledge that her affections were irrevocably fixed70, he could not withhold71 the manifestation72 of a hopeful desire in her presence, within the limits of reverential respect. Correliana, on her part, seemed to fully understand the import of his attentions, but was in no way embarrassed by their indulgence, which with her frankness appeared inexplicable73. When he expressed his intention of commencing his microscopical74 field investigations75, she asked the privilege of assisting him when free from the indispensable duties of the household; promising76, if her request was granted, to be diligent77 for advancement78 in scientific knowledge. She was promptly79 accepted as a catechumenic aid, notwithstanding the promptings of his judgment80 which suggested that with the ever present cause of his disquietude, his remedy would prove of little avail for relief. But he determined81, with a lover’s infatuation, to converse82 with her as an abstract divested83 of material embodiment.
On the first day of November, while engaged in preparing his instruments after evening song, M. Hollydorf was surprised with a visit from the pr?tor and family. Observing that the unusual hour caused fear that some mishap84 had occurred, Correliana hastened to relieve the anticipation85 of evil tidings by stating the object of the visit. “My father,” she said, “has been delegated to proffer you the perpetual hospitality of Heraclea. Not, however, with the 111design that you should hold it as an acknowledgment of service rendered, but rather as the promptings of affectionate esteem86 for your companionship. As you are aware, we have no practical knowledge of the world beyond our city walls, and feel that in winning from you a reciprocation87 of our affection, we shall be advised of a course that will avail us as a protection against the grasping cupidity88 you have described as the inherent motive power of civilization. To be forced to adopt habits of corruption89, in defiance90 of local option, because your enlightened civilization holds that the power to enforce their arbitrary despotisms with brute91 strength, aided by destructive mechanical adjuncts, is right; would, with the introduction of ‘luxurious’ poisons which frenzy92 and degrade the human instincts, make us regret with anguish93 our liberation from the deadly intent of our savage94 foes95. For their speedy poison, with its putrefactive torments96, does not degrade the animus97 of goodness, but relieves it from material bondage98 in purity for immortal99 association with those who have gone before. We feel self-conscious that we are in intention pure and free from cupidity, which assures us that we merit the affectionate interest that you have bestowed for our liberation and welfare. This much we will advance for initiation100 without infringing101 upon the more matured wisdom in store for your direction. With the full development of our loving resources, we feel confident in securing your permanent residence among us, as advisors102, in warding103 off those who would, for the gratification of craving104 instinctive105 cupidity, sacrifice our well-assured happiness, from which we realize in life a foretaste of immortality106 (smiling). Fortunately, the sage107 suggestion which led Mr. Welson to confer the honor of knighthood upon the savage for the indomitable bravery of his instinctive propensity108 to inflict109 deadly wounds with his teeth, has relieved us from anxiety from his kindred; 112and if we can persuade the grand master ‘Lobscounster’ to take up his abode110 in our midst, his influence may extend to the orders of civilization, for our protection in the enjoyment111 of affectionate association. If he will but exert his power to protect us from the forced invasions of trade, that would palm upon our weakness noxious112 devices, which in naught113 would advantage the invaders114, but make us wretched beyond measure, he will insure our eternal gratitude115.”
Mr. Welson in response said,—The eminent116 Lobscounster, if insured from increasing merit a continuance of Heraclean favor, he cannot be forced from his allegiance, and in earnest of his intention thankfully accepted the extended privilege of becoming their permanent guest. But would most devoutly117 beg to decline acceptance of the cognomic title bestowed upon him by the savage embogator; as to the English ear it was euphonious118 with smack119 of a descent from an ancient sea cook, and in no way likely to insure reverence120 among sea-faring men. Indeed, the individual referred to would have strongly suspected collusive substitution if the interpreter had been well versed121 in the aquatic122 lore123 of ocean English.
When the visitors were about leaving, M. Hollydorf announced his intention of entering upon his microscopical investigations on the morrow, reminding Correliana of her promise to render him assistance.
“With life and health I shall most assuredly be present,” replied Correliana, “for I have a woman’s curiosity to test the wonderful magnifying powers of your instruments, which so far exceed our untutored conceptions of mechanical refinement124. As we have some practical knowledge derived from the observations of animalculan life, we hope that our assistance in your department of science may eventuate in relieving your anxiety, occasioned by the delay incurred125 113from the aid you have rendered our people.” With this enigmatical proposition, bespoken126 with the earnest zest127 of sincerity128 peculiar129 to all her variations, Correliana and her parents bade the members of the corps good-night. Long after the departure of their visitors, the members of the corps, puzzled and perplexed130 by Correliana’s seemingly frank intention, commingled with implied reservations, and a knowledge of the world incompatible131 with the complete isolation132 to which their people had been subjected for ages, endeavored to unravel133 the clew to her powers of premonition.
After listening in silence for a long time to the various suggestive expositions of others, the padre suddenly exclaimed, “You may reason and think what you please, but for my own part I know that I have not been myself since she first came on board of the Tortuga; and if everything was fair and above board, as they would have us believe by their words and actions, they would speak out at once, and not hold anything back to make us feel doubtful of our souls’ safety. For by the mouths of a cloud of witnesses, we know that the powers of darkness have wrought134 from the beginning of the world their designs for the temptation of souls, through the agency of woman’s allurements135; and for myself I can truly say, that I can’t avoid doing as she wishes to have me without a word of direction. Besides I am altogether too happy to have it natural or lasting136; and the method of educating their children separate from each other, and away from the example of their parents, is barbarous and unnatural.”
At the completion of this impulsive137 padric, Mr. Welson quietly observed,—“If we are to judge from appearances, we could not question the source of your improvement. But as appearances are deceptive138, and the evil-disposed seek solitude139 for indulgence, the cloud of a witness rose from beneath the skirt of your 114coat, with the odor of tobacco from your suddenly concealed140 pipe, to confirm your shame in the presence of purity. If your soul has been tempted141, it has been from gross indulgence to purity.”
The padre abashed142 relapsed into silence. But Dr. Baāhar, who had for a butterfly consideration furnished him with the means of indulgence, undertook his vindication143, which he commenced with the syllogistic144 proposition: “We will certainly admit that your spasmodic sarcasms145 are poetical146 refinements147 upon fact, but I contend that you are neither scientific or logical in your deductions148. If God created man with reasoning instincts, they were undoubtedly149 intended for invention and indulgence. Again, in depriving children of their natural protectors’ care and example, is in open controversion of Divine will. As for me, I do not assume to be more wise in my day, than my ancestors were in theirs. By the assumptions of your theory, founded upon the partial knowledge of these egotistical Heracleans, who have been shut out from a knowledge of the world from time immemorial, we should repudiate150 the transmitted experience of our ancestors. I shall not be guilty of so gross an act of ingratitude151; my father the counselor152, and his progenitors153, ate their saur-kraut and sausages, drank their beer, smoked their pipes, and were excellent swordmen and genealogists, and I intend to do honor to the habits they inculcated.”
Pettynose the buzz recorder of sound, and Lindenhoff the genealogical curator of sound, with Viscouswitzs the photographic artist, sided with Dr. Baāhar, the latter sensuously154 remarking: “The women may be accounted puritanically155 beautiful, but they lack the bouquet156 of civilization, as well as the natural flavor peculiar to the creole variations; and as to pleasure, I could derive38 as much by an association with marble busts157 in the atélier of a sculptor158. There is an air of repulsiveness159 about them that repels160 geniality161, 115so that I never feel comfortable in their presence, and but for the encampment of the Vermejo Indians on the lake, I would, with the first opportunity, throw up my engagement and return to the haunts of civilization; for of all things I abhor162 pedantry163 in men and puritanism in women.”
“We are as yet novices164 in the ways of the Heracleans,” urged Mr. Dow, “and but imperfectly understand their motives165 of action or system of self government. To judge them from our partial impressions, which your personal opinions bespeak166, is proof positive that the cavils167 of surmise168, peculiar to individuals, originated the prejudices to which you have given voice. To me the addenda169 to their morning salutation and evening anthem170 of praise, as rendered by M. Hollydorf, bore advisory171 reference to the source of their happiness.” M. Hollydorf fully endorsed172 Mr. Dow’s views.
